Harald
Harald: A Practical and Illustrated Guide to Knife Fighting | David Friedman
3 posts | 1 read
He Didn't Get the Surrender Memo! It's the perfect storm for conquest: a dysfunctional kingdom reels under a weak monarch. A powerful order of warrior maidens turns to infighting after suddenly losing its charismatic leader. Worst of all, a disciplined and blooded imperial army stands ready to invade and dominate. If ever a moment called for grit, competence, and an utter lack of wishful thinking it is now. Enter Harald of the Vales. Family man and teller of tales. Warrior's warrior. It's time the Empire got one thing straight: the land of Kaerlia will never be its for the taking. An intricate and thrilling debut fantasy novel from libertarian prof (and son of economist Milton Friedman) and Society for Creative Anachronism grandee, David D. Friedman. At the publisher's request, this title is sold without DRM (Digital Rights Management).

When is a fantasy not a fantasy? This book is labeled a fantasy but it's not. No magic or magic users, no mystical creatures, no dragons, elves, dwarves or orcs. If it hadn't taken place in a fictional land, it could have been sold as straight up historical fiction. That said, it's still a great read, full of well rounded characters, thrilling chases, daring escapes and epic battle scenes 4 🛡🛡🛡🛡

Aliana could see tents going down, pack mules being rounded up and loaded.

I am posting one book per day from my extensive to-be-read collection. No description or reason for wanting to read the book. Some are old and some will be new. Don't judge me - I have a lot of books.
